MANUAL GEARBOX
105)
23)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram for
gear engagement is shown on the knob
).
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
the ring 1 fig. 79 under the knob and at
the same time move the lever to the left
and then forwards.
To engage 6
thgear (if present), operate
the lever by pressing it towards the right
in order to avoid engaging 4
thgear by
mistake. The same applies to the shift
from 6
thto 5thgear.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completelystationary. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. In some
circumstances, the electronic clutch
control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.
WARNING
105)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
23)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.

STARTING AND DRIVING

bring the transmission lever to P
(Park);
bring the ignition device to STOP;
wait for about 10 seconds, then
restart the engine;
select the desired gear: correct
transmission operation should be
restored.
IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is in any case
recommended to contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLING SYSTEM
WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park)
and N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has
not been previously depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position
other than P (Park) or from N (Neutral)
to R (Reverse), the ignition device must
be in position MAR (engine on or off)
and the brake pedal must be
depressed. Button 1 fig. 80 on the gear
lever knob must also be pressed. To
move the lever from position N (Neutral)
to position D (Drive, automatic forward
gear), you need to press the brake
pedal.
To facilitate parking manoeuvres, move
the lever from D to R (and vice versa)without pressing the brake if the lever
does not pass through the N position.
The lever will remain locked in the P
position in case of faults or flat battery.
See the “Automatic transmission” in the
“In an emergency” chapter for how to
release the lever manually.
WARNING
106)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the vehicle to
avoid the accidental movement of the
vehicle.
107)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
108)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your vehicle and
causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
24)Before moving the gear lever from
position P (Park), bring the ignition device
to position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.25)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
